There Is Power And Toughness In A Union

If you’re not familiar with how Magic: the Gathering works or willing to look up the rules and slang, you’re probably not going to get this one. Sorry.

There’s mana in a factory, mana in a land
Mana when you tap certain creatures
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don’t stand
There is power and toughness in a union

Now the lessons of the past were all paid with creatures’ blood
Mistakes of planeswalkers we must pay for
From the basics and the guildgates to shocklands full of mud
War has always been planeswalkers’ way, sir

The union forever, defending our lives
Unite like the slivers that strengthen their hives
With our creature subtypes coupled from many far-off planes
There is power and toughness in a union

Now I long for the morning that they realize
Sorcery and instant spells cannot defeat us
But who’ll defend the creatures who cannot organize
When they send loyal planeswalkers out to cheat us?

Treasure speaks for treasure, the caster for his fun
Who comes to speak for the token 1/1?
What comfort to the commons, the vanillas, and the bears
There is power and toughness in a union

The union forever, defending our lives
Unite like the slivers that strengthen their hives
With our creature subtypes coupled, together we will stand
There is power and toughness in a union
